Vellum Butterflies

A small and select group of us gather every second month to learn a new technique or two in the ever expanding art of card making.

Apparently it can be a little bit like school. That is to say, if you talk while the teacher is giving some instructions, you may miss a vital piece of information and make a mistake. Who would've thought???

Given that we are quite a verbose group (I think we may once have been referred to as rowdy) it's not a great leap to admit that each time you can pretty much guarantee I'll make a mistake, ahem design change.

The brightly coloured foliage on this card was supposed to be stamped onto the back of the vellum. Giving a more subtle finish to the card.

Why Papier and Cakes?

For as long as I can remember, I have enjoyed playing with Papier. Whether it was folding it, cutting it, writing on it, smelling it? (old books) or reading from it; paper has held a fascination for me.
As a child, I can remember sending pen letters and folding them in a certain, special way, that I had discovered in a book.... It drove everyone mad, I'm sure, but I had learnt something new - and that was all that mattered.
As for the Cakes, well I am rather fond of food and I adore pretty things, and cakes encompass both of these passions. It all stems from my love of wonderful cooking and tasting food.
